Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 34EQ
Chloromethane has the Lewis structure
_______________________________
The carbon atom is sharing 4 electron pairs. In each shared pair the carbon atom “owns” 1 electron. The number of electrons that “belong” to carbon is ___. Carbon, being a Group ___ element would have 4, outer shell electrons in the unbonded, neutral state. Therefore, the carbon atom in chloromethane has a formal charge of zero.

Please help me answer this question. I don't understand how or even if this can happen in a single transformation. Please provide a detailed explanation and a drawing showing how it can happen in a single transformation.
Add the necessary reagents and reaction conditions above and below the arrow in this organic reaction. If the products can't be made from the reactant with a single transformation, check the box under the drawing area instead.
2) Draw the correct chemical structure (using line-angle drawings / "line structures") from their
given IUPAC name:
a.
(E)-1-chloro-3,4,5-trimethylhex-2-ene
b. (Z)-4,5,7-trimethyloct-4-en-2-ol
C. (2E,6Z)-4-methylocta-2,6-diene
